Dutch Pink
At the time, I was unaware of what to expect but with a name like Dutch Pink (which stems from lyrics in two different Tom Waits songs), I was also intrigued. The atmosphere and the unknown quickly drew my attention as the opening notes rang out. I was immediatly enthralled by the facial expressions and stage presence of the fearless leader, as the band commanded through like a thunder storm lighting up the midnight sky. The music drew me in, but the aura and the energy kept me wide eyed.
I have had the pleasure of experiencing this amazing band twice now, and I highly recommend that if the opportunity arises, do not pass it up. Dutch Pink is a force and a breath of fresh air for the Detroit music scene. The music is raw, true, honest and real, and these boys are ready to rock.
